At the last meeting of the Yucca Valley Planning Commission (April 27), commissioners were asked to weigh in on whether town residents could erect 6-foot fences in the front yard, as long as the top two-feet didn’t block visibility. Managing editor Tami Roleff has more information…
The Yucca Valley Planning Commission were shown a photo of a fence in the town where the bottom four feet were corrugated metal and the top two feet were wood slats. The town’s development code allows six-foot fences in front yards if the fence does not impair visibility but it doesn’t cover such situations of a fence with mixed materials. Commissioners agreed that the fence in question probably doesn’t meet the intent of the code. Town staff agreed to research other cities and take photos for the commission to review at a future date.

“Like mother, like daughter” is more than a proverb for Lucy Emonina and Ovuke’ Emonina McCoy, both of whom had strokes and received heart transplants decades apart.
Mother (Emonina) and daughter (McCoy) were born with a genetic condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a thickening of the walls of heart that makes it difficult for the heart to pump blood. The illness runs in their family: Emonina lost four brothers and two sons, McCoy’s siblings, to the disease.
“When you say, ‘I want to grow up and be like my mom,’ you don’t think, ‘I want to be like my mom and have a heart transplant,’” said McCoy. “That’s what happened, [though] my mom had a heart transplant, and I had a heart transplant.”
TUCSON (KVOA) - It is National Stroke Awareness Month, however in light of the pandemic, many have been too afraid to seek medical care that could be crucial to treating strokes. We ve learned a lot of the last year, neurologist, Dr. Robert Brown M.D. said. We have regarding care for patients who have COVID-19, but broadly, when it comes to stroke-related issues, we ve come to understand now is about one to two percent of people who have a COVID-19 infection will have a stroke.
Brown continued and stated that most of these are ischemic stroke or lack of blood supply stroke. About 80 or 90 percent and then the remainder are bleeding types of stroke.
The Mayo Clinic hosted the conference call with several neurologists from across the country to discuss what a stroke is, how you can tell if someone is starting to have one and what to do after it happens.
